On this site the Montclair Hook & Ladder company was founded on November 28, 1882. This building was opened in 1904 as the old Fire Department headquarters. It was then enlarged and modified in the classical revival style with beaux arts elements in 1913 in order to additionally house the Police Department and Town Government. The original MFD plaque was removed in 2004 and installed and dedicated at the new Fire Department headquarters building located at Bloomfield Avenue and Pine Street on June 30, 2004.
Marker is at the intersection of Bloomfield Avenue and Valley Road, on the right when traveling north on Bloomfield Avenue.
